These are just a few examples taken from the brand new Topshop, J.W Anderson line.
I thought a post about this fresh and upcoming designer would be interesting, due to his classic AND eccentric style, which is a brave approach for someone trying to stand out, in the ever changing fashion industry.
His 'classic' pieces appeal to everyone, with inspirations from the standard 'white shirt', 'V-neck jumper' to 'simple loafers'; appearing as very much a 'schoolgirl' theme. In my opinion, basics like these, never go out of fashion, and it is refreshing to see a new quirky designer such as Anderson going back to good old fashion roots.
This being said, this Northern Irish designer also brings us a more vibrant and eccentric side to his new line. It's unusual to see a designer having such dramatic opposites within a single line, which is another reason why I think this is so interesting. Although Anderson does incorporate the current 'paisley' fashion into his line, he puts his own spin on these bizarre patterns with clashing colours and a quilted effect. Along with this he adds his own unique prints including the zebra print you see above, and these adorable kitten print jeans!
If you want to read a bit more into Anderson's inspirations, or even a little bit more about him himself, there's an article about him in this season's Topshop magazine (cute to flick through for all the other A/W 2012 trends too!), just thought I'd do a super quick post on this before tea!
Enjoy
